Anxiety/Nausea during sex

Ok, I have a small problem that is turning into a giant issue and it's not helping that I constantly worry about it before sex. Every time I get in the state of mind of sex with my girlfriend or even just touching, my stomach starts to get extremely queasy from the anxiety. To the point where I must puke to relieve myself of the feeling. My girlfriend is very understanding, but it's ruining the moment for the most part and if I didn't have to worry about being able to perform sex. This didn't happen the several times before a couple weeks ago. I don't know what's gone wrong with me, but I need this to stop.

I used to have really bad anxiety with doing some activities when I was younger, and it went away. I really can't deal with this and I've tried relaxing and all the other basic techniques. I'm about to go insane if I can't have sex without sparking anxiety.

Yes, there are anxiety meds you can take but before doing that I would really recommend therapy to find out why you're having this anxiety.

No, neither of those things are a problem because I feel safe with condoms and birth control. My performance is normal so that's not the issue either.

Is there any medication that I can take?

You may want to think about therapy. I'm not sure why you're having this anxiety before you and your girlfriend have sex. There could be many different reasons. Are you worried about pregnancy, your performance, anything you can think of?
